thanks for such a nice plugin i really need it
Thanks man…………………. Really Great Job…………………………
You have done a very good work and this is what I have been looking for. I’ve tested it in ver. 1.6.2.0 and it works.
However, as my site under construction is a multi-lingual site having 2 store views, could you help out in upgrading your plug in to version that matches such needs.
Thanks……….
This is awesome. I exported from enterprise 1.9 and imported into enterprise 1.11 and it worked flawlessly.
awesome job.
Any way this can work via a cron job?
And why doesn’t it import my main categories?
i want export have categories id , help me, who can provider module complete
Really Great Job……………This is awesome.…………Thanks man…
whats about thumbnail and categary img?
img not seen ………..?
Thank you so much!! – works great from 1.6.0 to 1.6.2 🙂
Thanks a lot for the plugin it works great on ver 1.7.0.2 . Is there a sollution to export/import category names in different languages?
It works fine on ver 1.7.0.2 but the problem is that it doesn’t export/import category ID so when you import your products they keep their old category ID’s and everything is messed up. This is a major problem if you have a lot of products and categories.
Thanks it works fine in 1.7.0.2! and i didn’t had to buy an 50 euro costing extension! you are my hero!
You rock!
Works fine with CE 1702
Path provided is not a valid one. is the error I get when uploading what is causing that
Can any one tell it is compatible with 1.7.0.2 Magento Community Edition?
I tried installing via connect manager could not get the extension in the system
thanks

Hi wonder if you could help me just installed this on magento 1.7.0.2 and only options i have under mageworks -> import / export are products and customers no category export am i doing something wrong.
many thanks in advance
facing same problem, need help to resolve this issue
Heyyyy … Thanks Mansssss its very Good and very usefull for begginers…. nice …
If you want the categories ids as well open the file app/code/local/Mageworks/Core/Helper/Category.php and below $data = array();
add this -> $data[] = array (‘field’ => ‘entity_id’, ‘label’ => ‘ID’,’required’ => ‘yes’);
Not work. On excel file export result there is no column Category ID.
Help!
I managed to export from magento 1.7 and the CSV looks good. Then tried to import to magento 1.8. I get the following message:
Starting import profile execution.
Found 67 rows.
Then I get for each row, the following error message.
Path provided is not a valid one.
what mistake am I making?
Great extension and easy to install. Great work!
I have one issue that is essential for my usage, which I hope you can help me with. When I export the categories, I only get the top level categories.
Is there a file, where I can change the settings for this, so it takes all categeries and sub categories?
I hope you can guide me.
Thanks!
Thanks very much for sharing!
I am new to Magento, so I diligently downloaded, updated (as Jan 10 comment to include category ids), copied to our 1.8, cleared cache, exported, updated data and subsequently imported. Guess what – it all ran perfectly – don’t seem to get that very often with solutions made freely available.
You have done many people a great service with this and provide me with an insight into how we may develop modules of our own in the future.
Should we need specialist help, I know who we’ll approach first.
Many thanks,
Cliff
Thanks Cliff

i have the same issue with sol
Some of my categories are created but the sub categories don’t work. I receive a “path provided is not a valid one” for any category that had to go inside another category
This looks like an awesome extension… just need some help tweaking it so that it works. i exported from 1.7 and im importing to 1.8.1
Thanks you so much for your sharing.
Indeed there is a problem when using this extension to import categroies in Magento 1.8. The main categories work fine, only at the subcategories, there is the “Path provided is not a valid one.” error. Would be nice if this could be solved!
Hi
I did have this working but now doesnt seem to playing ball. I see the mageworks extension at the top but when i click on it just brings down the normal export import, without being able to sort out categories?
Hello,
Thanks for this useful extension.
My import process goes fine. It seems Yes/No values also get updated fine. I can’t get meta descriptions added though. I’m using the export csv file as my template. I’m using excel to add they texts. I clear the cache both using mangeto and manually.
What do you suggest?
Thanks. Great extension. Great work!
It would be better if it added a check box for the option Select All in Export Profiles page and Category ID column in excel export result file.
The plugin is working fine when I am logging in as super admin. But when I am logging in from some other role, then when I am clicking on Export Categories link, I am getting Access Denied.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
But anyways, this is a wonderful extension
Thanks.
Very helpful! thank you for sharing!
Magento 1.9.3, thx!
It’s still very handy!!! Works on Magento 1.9.4.2
